The Mount Mercer Wind Farm is located at Mount Mercer approximately 30 kilometres south of Ballarat in Western Victoria on 2600ha.

[1] It is expected to generate approximately 395,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity each year which could power approximately 74,000 households and result in a reduction of some 510,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

[2] Construction was to commence in September 2009 under the management of WestWind Energy, however the project changed hands to Meridian Energy in the middle of 2009[3] and construction was delayed several years with Meridian Energy citing the financial crisis of 2007–2008 as the cause.

[3] Further delays were caused by having to re-design the backhaul to the national grid and thus having to renegotiate easement agreements with local land owners.

[4] Construction began December 2012[5] and the generation came fully online in September 2014.
